Reid: Probe of Quran Burning Considered
Newsmax ^ | 4/3/2011 | Hiram Reisner

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says congressional lawmakers are discussing taking some action in response to the Koran burnings of a Tennessee pastor that led to killings at the U.N. facility in Afghanistan and sparked protests across the Middle East, Politico reports.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Congress might need to explore the need to limit some forms of freedom of speech, in light of Tennessee pastor Terry Jones’ Quran burning, and how such actions result in enabling U.S. enemies.

Excuse me, they need to be exploring ways to defeat Islam, once and for all.

Maybe we ought to have a mass koran burning.

The left, including Obama, have sided themselves, long ago, with Islam in an attempt to corner another voting bloc. The Pastor has proven, beyond any doubts, that Islam is a violent and hateful religion. Now the democrats must try to punish anyone who exposes their true ideology. Peter King was vilified for speaking out and he now has been vindicated. Where was the lefts outrage about the slaughter of Christians in Egypt? The silence of CAIR and other prominent moslems says all I need to know.

Thanks to ‘Li’l Ms. Lindsey we see exactly why SCOTUS was dead on right in the Weestboro Baptist Church case. Just like his buddy, McCain, and all the DemonRats he’s so in love with, he really hates the First Amendment.

***Quran burning, and how such actions result in enabling U.S. enemies.****

Smoking a Koran in Tennessee smoked out the enemy in Afghanistan! They are everywhere!

This echoes past comments made by Supreme court Judge Kagan and Cass Sunstein.

Is there any way to recall this traitor? (Linda Graham)

No, SC doesn't have a recall law. But we're working on it. Also keeping a comprehensive list of Linda's "deeds." Her reelection attempt is not gonna be pretty.

Talk about the cure being worse than the disease. I don’t condone Quran-burning, but tampering with Free Speech is un-American.

From related thread on Organization of Islamic conference propaganda OIC

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, warns of the OIC's plans.

"Among other things, they seek to define slander according to Islamic Sharia law --making Islamic ‘slander' a serious crime in every jurisdiction in the world, including the United States.

We’re having barbecue tonight. No chance of my blowing stack causing a cake to fall.

...although the meat might be a bit well-done. ;^)

English translations of the Koran aren’t even considered “holy”. So what’s the big deal.

Sens. Graham and Reid (both lawyers, I thought) need to read Snyder v. Phelps, et al., Case No. 09-751, easily found on the SCOTUS webpage.

Terry Jones’ Quran burning
Let's see . . . what evidence is there that the book Rev. Jones burned was a Koran? If it's burned, you can't tell what was printed on it - if anything at all.

People rioted when Newsweek claimed that a Koran was flushed down a toilet in Guantanamo Bay, too - and it's physically impossible to flush a book down a toilet.

The common link between the violence following the "flushing of a Koran" and a burning of what might have once been a Koran (out of how many copies of that document now extant?) is not so much the people performing the act (if any) as it is the journalists who broadcast the reports (true or false) to muslim countries.

So when you investigate Rev. Jones, investigate Newsweek and the broadcast journalists who are actually responsible for the incendiary reporting that actually incited the violence. The murderous violence says nothing about the people who putatively damaged a replaceable copy of a book - and volumes about the people who were so easily incited to violence, and the people on the ground in the Middle East who consciously incited them.

What Constitution are you talking about? The masses of idiots are brainwashed by TV including Fox Al Waleed. ALL of TV covers for the islamic in the white hut and islam.

Howard Beale: (movie Network)
“Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn’t come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break PRESIDENTS, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people.
But, man, you’re never going to get any truth from us. We’ll tell you anything you want to hear; we lie like hell. We’ll tell you that, uh, Kojak always gets the killer, or that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunker’s house, and no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don’t worry, just look at your watch; at the end of the hour he’s going to win. We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in *illusions*, man! None of it is true! But you people sit there, day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds... We’re all you know. You’re beginning to believe the illusions we’re spinning here. You’re beginning to think that the tube is reality, and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you! You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even *think* like the tube!”

NOTE: make or break presidents - sound familiar? Bush Depression - Obama the angel.
